Ok so this is my first proper fanfic so please ignore where it's all wrong lol. Well here goes

DS Samantha Nixon's daughter is still missing, frantic with worry sams on the verge of a nervous breakdown, the case is falling apart and looks like its going nowhere, until she receives a tape. Can Sam and Phil persuade DI Manson to take the case more seriously? And can Sam take Phil seriously when he tells her his real feeling towards her?

She looked around the large office and sighed, Sam liked to come in early, it gave her something to think about besides Abi, Her colleagues came In one by one to start at work, she knew what they thought about abi, they thought that she had 'faked' her own death to get back at her, some people like DI Manson for instance. Even though she tried hard to concentrate on her work she just couldn't, she wanted to be out there looking for abi why wouldn't anyone believe her?

"Sam, you have a parcel"

Came the voice of Phil hunter, he gestured to his position and looked down on her and passed her the parcel,

'Thanks Phil' she popped the parcel on her desk,

'Well? Are you going to open it? Phil answered

She looked at the parcel and half heartedly opened it, she looked at the contents and let out a gasp

'What is it Sam?' putting a hand on her shoulder

'Its...it's a tape' she wanted to run, she had a feeling that this was something to do with abi, 'I've got to go' she promptly stood up and walked out of CID bumping into DI Manson, followed by Phil

'Phil what's wrong with DS Samantha Nixon?'

'I don't know guv I'll go find out' he ran to find Sam, he saw her getting into her car

'SAM!' wait' Sam turned round to see Phil running towards her, 'what Phil?'

'Where you going?' he gasped 'to find out what's on this tape.

'Then let me come with you' giving her his all too famous puppy-dog look

Oh... Fine come on! Both Sam and Phil clambered into her car and drove of.

From his window Neil Manson was watching as Phil and Sam drove of together. He picked up the phone and called jack, '

hello its Neil,' I think Samantha needs to take some time of work, she's just left holding a tape and has drove of with Phil hunter.'

'Yes well, I think you can understand that she will be in a bit of a state her daughters missing if you haven't forgotten?'

Yes sorry guv. With that he put the phone down

'Oh... Yes sure how can we forget, seeing sams face everyday as a constant reminder, then her pleas saying she's been abducted!'

Back at Sams house, Sam had taken the tape and put it in the machine, longing this to finally help her find abi, longing for this to help ease her pain, at first she sat there she couldn't watch it, what if it wasn't anything to do with abi, what if it was just her being paranoid, obsessed that she couldn't live the rest of her life?

'Phil?'

'Yes Sam? He walked in and saw her sitting in front on the television, the screen was blank 'what's wrong isn't it working? He smiled

'I can't do this alone,'

"I'm here, and I'm never ever going to leave you Sam not ever." you were there when I needed help, and now it's my turn to be your guardian angel,'

Sam smiled 'thanks Phil'

As they she sat there waiting, waiting to here those words I'm ok mum, she thought back to all the arguments and the fights, the times where she was never there for abi, the times where she should have been.

Then instead of the words 'I'm ok' she heard the words, 'this is your fault, you were never there for me and now I have taken what you cared for most, my life'

the tears that she had been holding back the past few days just came flooding out, she had for once in her life let her emotions go, she had for once let her emotions take over, she was puzzled at why abi would do such a thing, was she really the terrible mum that abi had told her she was? At this and even more puzzled when she saw Phil's arms around her comforting her. Through stubborn will or not, she was going tell him.

He couldn't help but look over at her, imagining what would happen, if he were to suddenly lean over and kiss her. 'Now she would definitely not be prepared for that,' he thought to himself, suddenly ashamed at the idea. But, yet he couldn't deny the fact that he was head over heels, hopelessly in love with her. Her. The most beautiful woman in the world.

He didn't even know if she felt the same way. He also didn't know why she put up with with him for so long, considering that he had caused her so much more pain than one human being could bear.

She looked over at him he could see her pain, he too like Sam had his daughter abducted he knew what it was like, pained as he was he longed to be able to ease the pain away, by her telling him three simple words, 'I love you.' But his stubborn and strong-willed mind would never let her know how much she meant to her. How much he loved her and longed to be with her from the moment he first met her. To him, she was the most gorgeous woman alive. He realized then, that their partnership, friendship, companionship, ah hell, call it what you want, was the longest relationship he'd had ever and longed for.
